This was the first book I read this year, and I want to say I enjoyed it very much. The individual stories were moving and sometimes disturbing, I couldn't put it down. I wish there had been more, when I finished it I remember feeling a bit... empty. Also a bit sad that not all of the musicians stories were told. Nonetheless I loved this book, and would definitely recommend. Just be prepared to be a bit shocked by some of the things that happen, (apart of the titanic sinking of course, that was to be expected) especially the story about the child prodigy musician.
